Arsenal have reportedly agreed a five-year deal with Alex Iwobi worth £60k-per-week to the midfielder.

Reports over the summer had suggested that Iwobi was not in Emery’s plans but it seems as if these were mistaken.

Iwobi, 22, has certainly stalled since he broke through into the Arsenal first team under Arsene Wenger. I had been hopeful that under Emery he could kick on again and get back some of the sparkle we saw when he first made himself known to us so reports that he could be sold were concerning.

Thankfully, it seems like we need not have worried and can get back to looking forward to watching him start developing again.
